RICH GOLD FINDS.
Not Known whether they are I'm Brit
ish Columbia or Alaska.

OTTAWA, March 20.-The discovery of
rich gold deposits in British Columbia,
close 10 the imaginary boundary line be.
tween that province and Alaska, IL is
feared, may lead to serious trouble II the
actual boundary Is not defined before any
attempt is made to develop those valuable
finds. In view of the valuable discovery
of gold in the Pacific province, the do
minion government has decided on send
ing out party to make geological sur,
veys of that part Of the country in which
minerals have been found and to ascer-
tain as near as possible TO whom they be-
long. whether TO the United States or the
dominion. The party will, 1t is expected,
leave here for the Yakon district in April.
Dr. Bell, assistant chief of the geological
survey, says he believes the valuable
mining lands between the headwalers OF
the Lewes river and Mount st, Elias, will
become u source of dispute between the
United States and Canada on account OF
the indefinite boundary line.
Referring to the country between the
waters of the Lewes river and Mt. ~
Elias, which lies directly west Of IT,,
which abounds in silver. copper. lead and
iron ore, DIR. Bell says: AS the Americans
got ahead of Canada in the territorial
deal the dominion must not look forward
TO quietly being done out of this
valuable territory, which he main.
tains properly belongs to Canada,
An effort will be made during the
coming session of parliament to secure
an appropriation to commence n survey
Of the British Columbia boundary in tho
hope that the United States government
will cooperate and definitely fix the
boundary line, and thus remove all posi-.
bility of dispute.

LONDON, March IA dispatch from
st. Petersburg says: While the Gear was
returning from the requiem services in
the Cathedral of St. Peter and st. Paul, a
bomb attached to a cord was thrown in
his direction. The intention was TO
tighten the string, which was connected
with mechanism, and thus explode the
bomb, but before it could be executed
the criminal and suspected accomplish
were seized. 1t was found that they
lived together in lodging house in the
suburbs of the city. The police visited
this house and discovered there guam
tity of explosives and number OF revolu
tionary pamphlets Over 200 persons
have already been arrested in connection
with the affair and domiciliary visits are
being made throughout the city. The
German police had warned the Russian
authorities that an attempt was to be
made against the Cars life, but the lat
ter failed to trace the plotters. A tele.
gram from Vienna confirms the news Of
the dispatch and says that the bomb was
thrown under the Gar carriage and that
it was shaped like book, so that 1t could
be carried in the hand without exciting

TPE CZAR'S PERIL.
Ills OH cial Organ on the Late Plot to
Assassinatc Him.

ST PETERsBURG, March 22-The fol-
lowing is the authorized Official declara-
ton concerning the attempt npon the
life Of the Gear: II is not believed That
the active society of the Constitutional
party has such an extensive and lnflucn'
tial following rs some foreign journals
represent. The Constituencies instead
Of being wholly distinct from the Mill
lists are nothing but the executors OF the
milder programme of cloaking violent
methods of nihilism as to secure certain
amount of liberation from the educated
and thoughtful classes in Russia. The
Cars advisors are convinced from long
observation that the influential classes in
Russia do not consider that the time has
arrived in political Developments OF the
empire for the introduction Of consti-
tutional government by his majesty, nor
do the Pan Slavist party desire constitu-
tionalism, on the contrary, they declare
that an autocratic form of government
tempered by Just administration of
codified law, is desirable until the Rus
sian territorial expansion has reached the
limits set for it by Pan Slavist ideas.
State socialism, recently promoted in
Germany by Prince Bismarck, is being
CdTClullf StuulCu Wy thS hu9oi"p So'
ment, the Car being well disposed in ia.
vor of such progressive economy, and
changes in territories under Russian sway
as shall conduce to the happiness and
welfare of the Russian people.
The Car was deeply impressed by the
terrible circumstances under which his
father met his death. The last attempt
on his own life projected by the nihilists
produced feeling of horror. Still, 1t is
unlikely that it will lead to a change of
his previous policy. His majesty can not
but view with mingled bitterness, and re-
great the position in which he is placed
by threats and perils continually besetting
him. He deplores the necessity which
constantly exists for costly and extensive
precautions for his personal safety when
ever he desires to travel or even to move
beyond the precincts of police, restric.
tions which impede his movements and
prevent his seeing his people as they are,
and judging for himself concerning their
needs. The Cars aversion to plunging
Russia into ruinous and fruitless war
continues as great as ever No change in
his convictions in this respect is expected
by his advisors except in conformity with
his views on Russian Imperial interests,

A FIERY TOMB.
Fifteen or More Guests Perish In q
Buffalo Hotel.
The Means Of Escape Cut On.-Par-
tlculars OF the Terrible
Calamity.

BUFFALO. New York, March ia
terrible calamity has visited this city.
The splendid new five-story Richmond
hotel, corner of Main and Eagle streets,
was totally destroyed by fire yesterday
morning together with BunnelPs museum
and an adjacent building. The most dis.
tressful part of the disaster is the loss of
number of lives. estimated at from IL to
Is, while the number of injured is quite
large. The rapidity of the progress Of
the fire cut off the usual means of escape,
and people within the burning building
were compelled to leap for life from the
windows, and go down the fire escapes
or by ladders raised by the fire depart.
ment The fire began at $3.50 and the
sleeping guests were aroused by the night
clerk, porter and bell boy, who were the
only ones up. They rang the electric
bells and fire alarms, and in few min
utcs the guests rushed out of their rooms
in their night clothes only to find the
stairways blocked by smoke and flames,
forcing them to the roof or through the
windows. The shrieks and cries of the
people cut off by the flames were heart
rending and could be heard q block away.
There were about 1875 people in the hotel
The firemen did noble work, and rescued
many persons. The fire spread to Bun.
nells museum, which was soon
Quilted. BY six o'clock the hotel,
museum building, and one other
structure were mass of ruins. The fire
in the hotel began in the basement and
followed the elevator shaft to the top
floor. The register of the hotel was
burned together with all account books
and correct list of the guests cannot be
obtained 1t is believed there were eighty
four guests in all. In the safe, which is
buried in the ruins are diamonds, jewelry
and money belonging to the guests
amounting to many thousands One
guest, NJ. Adler, had $4,000 worth OF
diamonds in the safe and another guest
had over 800, 900 worth OF watches and
iewelry. All is confusion and list of
tho missing and injured is difficult to get.
The injured have been taken to hospitals
and every necessary attention Is being
paid to them. The loss on the hotel is
about 1926, 600; on Bunnells museum,
about $4,000. Other losses will aggre-
gate $50, 900.
1t is believed the loss of life will exceed
twenty persons, but as no list has been
made out this is in measure guess work
Two guests were seen to fall back from a
window in the third story of the hotel
into the flames Three servant girls are
thought to have persisted. One man
whose name is unknown jumped from a
window to the street and was killed.
Guests escaping from the house saw sew
eral persons lying dead in the corridors,
having been suffocated Captain Kilroy
of the police says he believes from what
he witnessed twenty-five persons at least
have persisted. The ruins are too hot to
admit of search for bodies As far as il
known the dead and missing are: Welson
Purcell, of r. G. Dun & Co. Martin Os'
borne, day clerk of the hotel; Kate Pierce
and Kate Kent, servants; an unknown
woman and an unknown man.
